New (June 2021), 300 series Landcruiser, gets 2.8L diesel engine

Ron, that article is just the latest in a long chain of speculation, just like the same magazine's other 4 - 5 engine speculation articles with different versions. They also have predicted different releases every 6 months for the last 2 years.

They can't even get the exixting engine specs close to right. How on earth will they have any credibility on something that is 2 years away?

"200 Series' petrol V8, which produced 234kW and 460Nm, and the current 4.5-litre twin-turbo-diesel, which makes 250kW and 650Nm"

Actually the petrol is 227KW and the diesel is 200KW

My guess is the numb nut 'journo' copied something from a European Prado article. The Prado is called a Landcruiser in Europe.

It's clickbait.

How's this for resale?

Here is another one, posted on another site Sat. Mar. 14th From Carsguide.com.

Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series 2021 to be revealed in July with TWO new 3.5-litre V6 engine options - reports.

The long-awaited Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series is now reportedly set for a July reveal, with Toyota readying not one but two 3.5-litre engine options that focus on delivering maximum torque.

Macca.

Like Tony said, that report is rubbish written by someone with no idea. He's taken a report for an overseas market where they call the 150series the Landcruiser and don't use the word Prado.

If, per chance, these reports are right, just watch the sales of Rams, Effies etc

After test driving the new RAV-4 AWD hybrid which supposedly has a towing capacity of 1500kg (but up to 2000kg in overseas markets*), I then asked the salesman about long tows uphill (eg the Clyde Mountain). He assure me this would be no problem until I then pointed out that with the tiny battery fitted, it would last less than 2 minutes under hard towing, and then you'd be left with just the petrol engine for the remainder of the long climb. Presumably the same thing with any hybrid Landcruiser. I see that some caravan manufacturers are thinking of a battery under the van which could feed the car up hills and then recharge regeneratively on the flat, downhill and particularly when braking.
* Different towing capacities in different countries with identical car models?? According to my local dealer, the warranty terms are set by the national Toyota dealer/importer, not by Toyota worldwide. So, Australia's national dealer has chosen a lower towing limit to reduce the possibility of warranty claims.

The best thing to remember is Toyota has a policy of drip feeding us info and upgrades. The 80 came with a 3f till the 4.5, the 100 came with a 4.5 till the 4.7, the 200 came with a 4.7 till the 4.6.
The 300 will come with the 4.5 diesel and maybe a 3.5 v6 hybrid out of a lexus 400h and/or tt in the sahara....yes they do that too...make ppl pay for the tech.
